The sea froze so fast that it killed thousands of fish instantly -- by The Extinction Protocol


The sea froze so fast that it killed thousands of fish instantly

January 14, 2014NORWAY - Norwegian public radio (Google-translated) reports on the instant death of thousands of fish in a bay in the island of Lovund, Norway.
An air temperature of -7.8 C (17.96 F) combined with a strong east wind froze the sea water instantly, trapping and killing the fish you can see in this fishapocalyptic image.
The dog owner says that he has never seen such a phenomenon.
NRK claims that the herrings were chased by cormorants into the bay when the deadly freezing happened.
Aril Slotte—the head of pelagic fish department at Norway's Institute of Marine Research—says it is not uncommon for herring to get very near the shore when chased by predators, sometimes getting trapped by the low tide in areas like this bay. –Sploid

This story makes no sense, a body that dies in the water sinks to the bottom and finish a certain time the body produces a gas inside due to the onset of decomposition, which then makes the float, but the hick is that at this temperature the pulpit becomes cold enough to protect against this decomposition, so should be the surface if the body has begun to decompose in warmer water, conclusion, these fish were already dead before the gel could kill them. So there are two phenomena here, that dog has no appetite to eat the corpses because it does not take a non edible carrion.
